1 win in 11 games says it all. The part-timers wont come if we arent winning games and challenging for promotion, fact, sad, but true.

We'll always have a hardcore 1600-1800 home fans who will turn up week in week out, for a club of our size I'd say thats okay.

Not sure what your angle is Peter. A sly dig at those who don't earn enough to pay tax (students), or those that have topped up the system throughout working life (OAP's)? If the former the fans of the future who might be put of by the price, if the later supporters who have more than likely contributed to our past. Or are you after another hand-out?

Why should I have a sly dig?
I'm all for concessions.
All I'm interested in is getting bums onseats.
It's obvious that the success of the team isn't having the desired effect on the local community.
There are people out there who are just as deserving of a concession as those you mention.

I think he was more likely to be watching the Mascots Grand National. The Stag won it this year.

Dont think the board of directors will be happy with only 2100 especially when they have quite a large wage bill to keep covering - even barnet got more than us which is quite worrying

Yet our season average is still bigger than Barnet's.

Not surprised Barnet's is up - they're in the best position they've been, probably since they got promoted from the Conference.

Just a point regarding the mascot and not a dig at the club. why does he/she not attend every home game????? I don't think I've been to an away match where their mascot has been absent without leave!!!!!!

I don't believe Christie is "employed" and has other commitments so on that basis he can do what he wants ;) He got rather bruised getting out of the bus so it took a lot out of him. I'm sure his minder will be a whisker away with the answer 8-)
